The 14 Day Egg Diet – Lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks

The EGG DIET -

The Egg diet has origins from various sources in the history, one of them being Margaret Thatcher, Britain's former Prime Minister who used a version of 14 day egg diet to lose weight before the 1979 election.

This is a low carbohydrate, low calorie, but high protein diet which is designed for weight loss without triggering muscle loss.

The caloric restriction in this diet also helps you drop of all the excess water weight that you are carrying. This diet typically lasts for 14 days, every day you will consume only 3 meals i.e. breakfast + lunch + dinners.

High carbohydrates and natural sugars are eliminated so you will have to restrict bread, pastas, rices, sugar rich fruits and and any beverages other than water.

This is a diet which does not require you to prepare any complex meal plans etc, and this is quite inexpensive too. We must first clear out all our doubts about nutrient deficiency in this diet, this diet is designed in such a way that you will neither feel hungry or get nutrient deficient.

Suddenly shifting to a high-protein, low-carb diet can also be difficult for the digestive system to adjust to.

You may experience nausea, constipation, flatulence, and bad breath as a result.

Cholesterol in Eggs - Yes it is true that eggs are high in cholesterol, and in the early days it was popularized that if we consume cholesterol then we might increase the risk of heart attack.

This is kind of misleading and new research has shown that our body do not absorb the cholesterol form food. The risk of heart diseases arise due excess consumption of sugars, processed foods and not form cholesterol from natural food sources.

The low fiber in this diet is the only main concern where your bowel can get stuck, you should not skip the green leafy vegetables during this diet. This is not a sustainable diet which can be kept for longer duration, so if you fall back to your earlier poor eating ways then you will see those pounds pile on pretty soon.
